Xpand IT, global company with expertise in areas such as: Business Intelligence, Big Data, BPM & Enterprise Middleware and Enterprise Mobility, today announced that it has been appraised at Level 2 of the CMMI Institute’s Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). This certification process was made possible by a hard work with Strongstep, INOV and Whatever Consulting and the appraisal was performed by SEI – Software Engineering Institute. CMMI is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes that ultimately improve their performance. Xpand IT receives this certification rewarding its distinctive approach based on its own XPAGILE methodology. XPAGILE methodology is based in SCRUM and Extreme Programming, focusing in development iterations, continuous inspection and adjustment through collaboration.
An appraisal at maturity level 2 indicates the organization is performing at a “managed” level. At this level, projects have ensured that processes are planned and executed in accordance with policy; the projects employ skilled people who have adequate resources to produce controlled outputs; involve relevant stakeholders; are monitored, controlled, and reviewed; and are evaluated for adherence to their process descriptions.
This is an important step to reach the excellence in software development processes. This quality certificate shows Xpand IT’s commitment to respond to the customer’s needs and continue achieving the organizational excellence.
